Resolved: The United States federal government substantially reform the use of Artificial Intelligence technology
Case Summary: The AFF plan has the US government fund an AI program to help satellites avoid space junk and other obstacles in earth orbit (live satellites, dead satellites, and blown-up debris from past crashes in space). Space debris is a problem, but reinventing the wheel isn’t the solution . The European Space Agency (ESA) already has an AI program doing the AFF Plan (in fact, AFF will cite it in their evidence). But then, why go build another one? Counterplan is to have the ESA share theirs with us and use the money AFF was going to spend reinventing it to instead give that money to ESA for their space debris removal program. Avoidance is good (and ESA does it already). Removal is better (and ESA has already started doing it). Use and fund ESA instead of starting over from scratch.
